If you question Venus Williams, be prepared to feel her wrath.
During her three-set victory over Alize Cornet at the French Open, Williams was warned by a chair umpire for receiving coaching. Williams did not appreciate the accusation, immediately setting the umpire straight.
"Honestly, I'm 36 years old, never in my career have I had a coaching violation," she said. "Just don't even go there. No, no. I play fair."
